Q

*He described the cells as tiny boxes or a honeycomb
*He thought that cells only existed in plants and fungi
*He examined a thin slice of cork under the microscope that he built. He was able to see and observed small compartments of the cork and initially named the compartments cellula because they reminded him of the little rooms in the monastery.
